ent’ plant devices (valves and measurement instruments with advanced diagnostic capabilities), open communication standards (nonproprietary wired and wireless digital protocols allowing the plant devices and the control system to ‘talk’ with one another), and integrated modular software, not only to control the process and also to collect and analyze information about those processes and the plant assets. This capability gives customers the ability to detect or predict changes in equipment and process performance, and the associated impact on plant operations. PlantWeb architecture provides customers the insight to improve plant availability and safety, and also furnishes a platform to continually improve asset management and standards compliance.
Industry Services and Solutions
Process Management’s range of process automation and asset optimization services improve automation project implementation time and costs, and increase process availability and productivity. The company’s Global Industry Centers offer engineering and project management services to help customers extract maximum performance from their process equipment and automation assets. These centers serve industries, such as oil and gas, pulp and paper, chemicals, power, food and beverage, and life sciences. They also assist customers in diagnosing equipment problems and plant inefficiencies.
Distribution
The principal worldwide distribution channel for Process Management is a direct sales force, although a network of independent sales representatives, and to a lesser extent independent distributors purchasing products for resale, are also utilized.
